We arrived in Kuala Lampor, Malaysia in a torrential downpour. I am tired for a number of reasons, but I have a team to get to our place of rest. So I venture out into the pouring rain to find the way. We make it safely to PODS backpackers lounge. Little did I know that God had a nice surprise in store for us. U squad was having a mini time at PODS as well before heading to India. I am just worn out and would love nothing more than to veg out and do a little bit of nothing, but the fire of the Lord was in the U squad. Their energy was contagious and something I needed. We were able to hang out and live with them. We also got a chance to worship with them and BOY O BOY was that amazing! God knows what you need and will supply that with you lack. They have a unity that is crazy! We got to pray over them and send them off right to India. They came up to us thanking us for all we did and we had to let them know that they were more of a blessing to us going into this final month. This time has given me just what I needed. During worship God gave me a vision that had to be given.

Imagine if you will, a giant multi-lane highway. You all have driven on one more times than you can count.  One side is dead with NOTHING on it. Just an easy safe side. The other was zooming cars, semis and bikes. Just enough to intimidate you with the busyness about it. I was standing in the middle atop the median. I was facing a time of major decision. I can turn around and go back to where I once was. That was an easy, safe place to go. I knew what was back there. I could travel easily without a problem. OR I could face the booming things that lie ahead. Then I see something in across through all the hustle and bustle of everyday life. I see a figure. I can start to make out who it is…..it is Jesus. He is standing on the other side with his arms open just calling out to me. I hear him. I see his face. He has a easy look that I instantly feel safe in. I forget all about the things in front of me. I start to take that step to walk to him…then comes the distraction of that highway. 
Home.
The race. 
The future.
The past.
My worries about things I can’t control.
My own understanding about things. 
And an endless barrage from the enemy trying to make me fear. 
But amidst the noise and lies, I still see Jesus. He is STILL waiting and smiling. Still has his arms open. STILL loving me even when I forget. 
I will get knocked down. I will get hurt. I will get forget some things. BUT I WILL NOT FEAR. I WILL NOT FORGET JESUS’ LOVE FOR ME. I WILL KEEP MY EYES ON HIM AND KNOW THAT I AM PROTECTED IN THE HANDS OF MY HEAVENLY FATHER. 
22 Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed, 

      Because His compassions fail not. 
       23 They are new every morning; 
      Great is Your faithfulness. 
       24 ” The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, 

      ” Therefore I hope in Him!” 
       25 The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, 
      To the soul who seeks Him. 
       26 It is good that one should hope and wait quietly 
      For the salvation of the LORD. 

 


I am excited for the ending of this season and for another to come. I know God has what I need in the next season. I am going to take every second of this time and use it for his glory. Then when tomorrow gets here I will do the same. I will seek his face when I am knocked down. I will seek his face when I am lost. When I do that….NOTHING can stop me.
